| ESPN SportsCenter regular daytime anchors Hannah Storm, Chris McKendry and Linda Cohn. |
I was watching ESPN the past day for SportsCenter and all the sudden, what couldn't been more better when the viewers spend the next 6 or 9 straight hours of hard-working professional women hosting SportsCenter, that hit an grand slam for women anchoring working at the Walt Disney Company. Regular anchors Hannah Storm, Chris McKendry and Linda Cohn had to anchored their daytime shows with substitute (and yes women) anchors Jaymee Sire, Cari Champion and Nicole Biscole. Their partners Kevin Negandhi, Jay Crawford and David Lloyd were away and that sounded that would helped the espnW division to put that moment to their playbooks.
When SportsCenter hit live at 9am ET (6am PT), it was Hannah and Jaymee kick-off the first two hours, then toss it over to Chris and Cari for the next two and finally to Linda and Nicole for the next two (the show was moved to ESPNews in the 2pm ET hour). When Cohn and Biscole signed off at 3pm ET, the day doesn't stop as Michele Steele anchored SportsCenter for the next three hours and afterwards, it was an ballgame.
But it wasn't the first time the show has its "girl-power" experience on the anchor chair, remember back in October 2010 when Storm and Cohn (back then the daytime shows had two shows with 3 hours each until before cutting to three live shows with 2 hours each in early 2013) anchored three hours of SportsCener with Linda said this before turning it over to McKendry and then-SportsCenter anchor Sage Steele for the next three live hours that "Never in my 18 years here have there been back-to-back sets of women anchors hosting SportsCenter," said Cohn and it was indeed back-to-back. Until yesterday for Hannah, Chris and Linda with addition to Michele on News, let's just say it was back-to-back-to-back-to-back and well done to these women at ESPN doing their best to keep us the sports fan entertaining and well watched.
